HP FCA2214DC I-X manual NetWare Driver Files and Parameters, Parameter Description

Installing the NetWare Driver

NetWare Driver Files and Parameters

For this adapter to function properly with the Modular Smart Array 1000 (MSA1000), cpqshd.cdm version 0.200 or later has to be loaded on the server.

When loading the QL2300.HAM driver, the driver switches listed in Table 5 are required. They are added automatically if you install your driver with the NWCONFIG utility. Changing or omitting these switches may lead to unpredictable results or your server not seeing the storage devices on the SAN. For a complete list of driver switches, please refer to the README.TXT file that came with the driver.

Table 5: QL2300.HAM Driver Parameters

Parameter	Description
SLOT = n	Specifies to NetWare the PCI slot (slot n) in which the FCA2210 board is
	installed. The driver must be loaded once for each FCA2210 board in your
	system. For example:
	LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3
LUNS	Specifies to NetWare to scan for all luns during the load of this driver
	instance (otherwise NetWare will only scan for lun zero devices); the
	scanned lun number range is 0 to (n - 1) where n is specified by the
	/MAXLUNS=n option. This switch is required for multi-LUN storage
	subsystems, for example, RAID subsystems. For example:
	LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS
/ALLPATHS	Disables failover and reports to NetWare all devices on all adapter paths;
	this allows upper layer modules to do failover across a Netware server's
	multiple adapters. For example:
	LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /ALLPATHS
/PORTNAMES	Internally tracks devices by portname rather than nodename; this is
	required when storage luns do not have a 1:1 correspondence across
	portnames; this allows upper layer modules to do failover across a storage
	subsystem's multiple ports. For example:
	LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /PORTNAMES
/MAXLUNS=n	Set the maximum number of luns allowed during the lun scan; default is
	n=32. The range of luns searched is 0 to (n-1). For example:
	LOAD QL2x00.HAM SLOT=3 /LUNS /MAXLUNS=332
